Fetterman Senate challenger Ahmed Moor envisions ‘Palestine-Israel, from the river to the sea’
Palestinian American writer is first candidate to announce a 2028 bid for pro-Israel Democrat John Fetterman’s Pennsylvania US Senate seat
Ahmed Moor, a Palestinian American writer and Democratic Socialist, has announced his intention to run for the Pennsylvania Senate seat currently held by Democrat John Fetterman. Moor, who was born in Gaza and moved to Philadelphia as a child, has described his freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania in 2002 as an atmosphere of Islamophobia, with a kippa-clad student commenting on the "grossness" of the neighborhood.
Moor's platform focuses on dignity, equal rights, and affordability, and he has called for economic sanctions against Israel and accountability for alleged war crimes. If elected, Moor would need a significant shift in voter trends to win the seat, as the Democratic caucus is poised to gain seats in Congress when it convenes in January.
